Last month, Phil Spector, who's serving 19 years to life in jail for the 2003 murder of actress Lana Clarkson, once again attempted to overturn his conviction on grounds that the trial judge swayed the jury by pointing out blood spots in a photo demonstration of the producer's home.

We were unimpressed by this move, especially because he was trying to get off on a technicality…not because of actual innocence!

On Monday, a California appeals court rejected Phil's appeal and issued a "81-page decision" on its reasoning for rejection!
